Exiled by his pack as a teen, Omega wolf Simon Moorehead learns to bury his gentle nature in the interest of survival. When a hulking, rough-faced Alpha catches Simon on pack territory, he tries to escape what he’s sure will be imminent death. But instead of killing him, the Alpha takes Simon home. A mate is a dream come true for Mitch, and he won’t let little things like Simon’s rejections, attacks, and insults get in their way. With patience, seduction, and genuine care, Mitch will ride out the storm while Simon slays his own ghosts and Mitch’s loneliness.

Lady Fay traverses her parapet wall and waits with bow drawn taut. Only when she notices that the rowboat that arrives with Saxon men are tonsured does she relax a little. She need not shoot one of King Alexander’s suitors today. She does however lets go of her bow and the arrow lands in front of the man in the lead. Lady Fay is not fond of priest either. Nicholas Bruce jumps at the arrow landing at his feet. The deadly queen is just as lovely as his remembers. He feels like suddenly his disguise will not work. He is the bastard son of the Earl of Annadale. His job is to enthrall the Queen and bed her if he wants to survive. He has no choice.

I like this story a lot. It is a historical but I feel is a little more modernized, the plot is not boring or plain. Lady Fay is certainly an entertaining character. There is never a dull moment with her. Nicholas is deceiving her although you can tell he struggles with this, he has no choice. I love their story and what journey they lead. I gave this story 5 stars because I like how it has a different take on a historical romance.
